When the Grits Hit the Fan - Spotlight & Giveaway

Today I'd like to shine a spotlight on a new release. WHEN THE GRITS HIT THE FAN by Maddie Day is the third book in the Country Store Mystery series and was released March 28th.

Synopsis

Despite the bitter winter in South Lick,
Indiana, business is still hot at Robbie Jordan’s restaurant. But when
another murder rattles the small town, can Robbie defrost the motives of
a cold-blooded killer?

Before she started hosting dinners for
Indiana University’s Sociology Department at Pans ‘N Pancakes, Robbie
never imagined scholarly meetings could be so hostile. It’s all due to
Professor Charles Stilton, who seems to thrive on heated exchanges with
his peers and underlings, and tensions flare one night after he
disrespects Robbie’s friend, graduate student Lou. So when Robbie and
Lou go snowshoeing the next morning and find the contentious academic
frozen under ice, police suspect Lou might have killed him after their
public tiff. To prove her friend’s innocence, Robbie is absorbing local
gossip about Professor Stilton’s past and developing her own thesis on
the homicide—even if that means stirring up terrible danger for herself
along the way . . .
